IDC really stands for "Integrity Doesn't Count," and the eight traitors who bolted their party are Democrats in name only. They put personal gain ahead of party loyalty and point their moral compass directly to the bottom line.

Democrats can vote the eight Independent Democratic Conference members, plus their corrupt collaborator State Senator Simcha Felder, out of office in the 2018 primary elections.

Registered Democrats must demand that all candidates running for state office on their party's ticket pledge to align themselves with Democrats if elected.

The GOP holds 32 State Senate seats, giving it a one-vote majority to block bills vital to New

York City.

But nine defecting Democrats can shift that balance by rejoining their party's team in Albany. Keep protesting to tell them how you feel.
